In finds Space Missions for the win at i4-H camp. #4-H

This morning I stopped in to help with a Senior Center garden that 4-H and Extension manage. Grow boxes are easy but the amount of invasive elms popping up everywhere… where are my loppers and roundup when I never it.

[Dave Francis @davefranscience]

@ExtensionDean I have seen the impact that Extension can make especially in rural communities. More than once I have seen if not for Extension providing the opportunity or experience it likely wouldn’t happen.

[Dave Francis @davefranscience]

@PaulHill_io Yes, I saw it on STEM Connector. Intrigued and would like to see investment in the out of school time as well.

@PaulHill_io Interesting article. Ditch the "extension office" and imbed Extension where people go ex libraries, maker spaces, public gardens etc

#edtechln A7 openly state in funding RFAs that failure is an option

[Dave Francis @davefranscience]

#edtechln A7 learn from tech start ups that allow for failure and foster out of the box projects
